Wishlist to make a tutorial map super effective.

wow. nice work

 

add dummy doors and monitor rooms looking out on the course for that portal feel

 

n1 metal smith. Is the map finished or will you add vehicle courses and/or weapon ranges too?

 

There is already a vehicle / com course. Firing range is still there somewhere if we wanted to add it back in.

Just waiting on some stuff to force people to spawn at the tutorial start.

 

Well you could try to do a client-side script that runs automatically after map start

 

That is exactly what I want to do point_clientcommand, would be simple as hell but I have 2 problems. I don't know the commands for joining team, choosing class. And I don't know how to select specific spawn points with commands.

 

Jointeam. There's your first. There's a command for choosing your class too if I remember rightly, I used to use it to be engineer with revive, NF assault rifle, mortar and mines.

 

Which pistol.

 

Can you select a spawn point?

That would be the most beneficial thing here.

 

I think we might have the spawn point thing solved if MOOtants things pull through. I was fucking around with team class and skill, only one that I got working was jointeam 3 for be. Class and skills it kept telling me was invalid

 

How about you guys have the BARRACKS SPAWN only after they start the tutorial?

THAT WAY, only one spawn point is available, and they still get used to having to choose their spawn point (which should be part of the tutorial). Then you can have the barracks spawn once they have already spawned. Seems simple enough.

 

you obviously never even touched the tutorial I sent you. The tutorial part itself is off the minimap screen

 

god cpatton

 

we know

 

Other option is to make it 2 maps, and have a point command to change level at the end of the basics section.

 

.... What the hell does that have to do with it? or are you saying that's exactly how it is going to be in the end? Lol, it didn't occur to me that you'd actually intend such an effect.

 

Game checks if it hasn't ended by checking if every team has at least 1 spawn point or has players alive. No barracks, no players -> end of the game.

 

That doesn't sound right MOOtant. Otherwise maps like district, etc. would not exist obviously.

I'm not saying no spawn points, I'm saying only one spawn point. I assume (although im rather confused after the flak from the last few posts lol so I could be wrong) that the problem is that they see multiple spawn points, and we want to force the player to choose a single spawn point. Namely, the tutorial spawn, which is not in a barracks. So if there are no barracks present on the map at the time of initial spawning, the player would have an obvious choice and the problem would be solved.

Of course Keef's answer implies he intends that the initial spawn point not even be visible within the minimap area, which would make my suggestion useless. As I said before, I just didn't think that was the intended effect.

 

If the spawnpoints of the barracks are an issue, cant you just add the model of the barracks instead a real barracks?
